An AutunAh Song.

Ny wind is turned to bitter north,
That was so soft south before;
Ny sky, that shone so sunny bright,
With foggy gloom is clouded DER;
My gay green leaves are yellow black
Upon the dank autumnal floor;
For love, departed once, comes back
No more again, no more.
A roofess ruin lies my home.
For winds to blow and rains to pour;
One frosty night befel, and 10!
/ find my summer days are Ger;
The heart bereaved of why and how
Unknowing, knows that yet before
It had what cen to memory now
Returns no more, no more.

Life is too short for any bitter feeling;

Life is too short.

Proof better Than assertion.

With such proof as the following letter
from W. h. Dean of No. 27S Seventh street,
New York, it is not necessary to make the
bare assertion that Allcock's Porous Plasters
cure lumbago. Mr.. Dean says:
Some ten days ago was taken with very
violent pain in the small of my back. 1t was
80 severe that could hardly breathe: every
movement caused great agony. I finally
found out it was 1umbago. Being entirely
helpless friend sent to druggist and got
two AIlcock's Porous Plasters; these were
well warmed and applied to my back, one
above the other. In half an hour, to my de-
light and surprise, found the pain began to
abate. In two hours was able to walk out
and attend to my business, the pain being
almost gone. Next day was all right, but
continued wearing the plasters for a week.

THE GLAZEBKOOK SCANDAL.
Bishop Williams OF Connecticut May
order an Omctal Investigation.

Rfabop Williams of Connecticut May
order an Omc1aI investigation.
M1DDLETowN, Conn, Aug. 27.-Messrs.
Warren Dix and F. M. Waterbury, the mem
bers of the vestry committee of the Rev. Otis
A. Glazebrooks church in Elizabeth, N. J.,
who are in Durham investigating the scandal
concerning Rector Glazebrook and Miss Julia
Foote of his congregation, spent to-day in
still further faniliarizing themselves IN
general way with the case against the rector
as it stands. But the leading spirits OF the
committee, Chancellor B. Williamson and
w. w. Thomas, the senior and junior war
dens respectively of Mr.. Glazebrooks church,
did not arrive in Durham to day as was ex-
pected, and will not come before the first of
next week. The real work of investigation
is to be done by the latter gentlemen, and no
action of the committee will be taken in
their absence.
Lay Reader w. c. Richardson, who has
charge of the Episcopal church in Durham,
informed Bishop Williams of Connecticut of
the scandal several days ago. Bishop Will
hams wrote to Mr.. Richardson to-day that he
had called the attention of Bishop Scarbor-
ough of New Jersey to the case, the bishop
of Connecticut of course having no jurisdic-
ton Mr.. Richardson said that the interests
ough investigation of the affair, and that as
the present Investigation was not official and
merely for the information of Mr.. Glaze
brooks congregation in Elizabeth, he did not
believe Bishop Williams would be content
with its result. In his letter to Mr.. Richard
son Bishop Williams discussed the propriety
of inhibiting Mr.. Glazebrook from officiating
as priest in Connecticut, but he did not
think this action necessary as yet.
Durham people profess to be greatly scan-
dalized that on the Sabbath after the scandal
occurred, and while everybody was talking
about it, Mr.. Glazebrook went to church and
partook of the communion. The boys who
are the witnesses in the case sat outside the
church when Mr.. Glazebrook entered it, one
of them wearing the tennis cap which drop
ped from Glazebrook's head as he ran out of
the cemetery. Mr.. Glazebrook's bearing con-
tinues that of q wronged and innocent man.
and convinces his friends of his perfect in
nocence. He does not seek to conceal any in
formation about the case from the members
of the press or from any one else. Promi-
nent gentlemen in Middletown express the
view that there is nothing to the scandal,
and that the investigation will leave Mr..
GlaZebrook unscatned.
